Last time I cleaned my first gen RCBS bottom pour I realized the spout is conical but the rod that stops the alloy flow is just a regular bar with a flat base. I was wondering if anyone machined that...

The guys in Australia who bought Magma should make parts for everything including the Star. But to be honest I didn't hear any Star breaking. They might but not often.
I think Leon got it right. I'm not sure 100% but this is the most plausible explanation. I just translated nitrogen in Russian and it came azot. I think this is the explanation.
Yes I heard Ryan...
I also sent an e-mail to MP guys about a mold for Master Caster. It was few weeks ago and still didn't get an answer. Then I looked somewhere else and I found a very nice Magma mold. I won't bash MP...

I had the same thoughts. Lyman should start working on the 5th edition.
405grain you're in my neck of the woods.

Thank y'all for all the replies. I'm very happy I bought the 4th edition. The 3rd and 4th combined hold lots of great information.

I always use the extra step of "shake and clean" bullets with acetone. Take less than a minute. The secret is to make sure you don't use to much acetone in the plastic jar so it can evaporate fast. I...
Azot is the other name for nitrogen. Same like sodium is also called natrium.
Oh no. Gualandi is someone name. In fact the name belong to a famous noble Italian family. Now I have no idea why AS molds decided or who in Russia decided to associate Gualandi to nitrogen. Maybe...

Right before Christmas he had a huge discount price for whatever was left from the 2023 production and I bought lots of them. They are designed to be used in conjunction with the russian slugs that...
I was wondering who are the winning bidders for the molds Magma auctions held not long time ago. I don't see anyone posting molds for sale so I can only speculate that who won a gazillion molds at...
There are quite few links that doesn't work anymore. But overall this a great collection of websites and personal experiences.

I won't get rid of any reloading manual let alone the Lyman cast 3rd edition. I already ordered the 4th edition.
The reason I asked if the 4th edition has TG in it is because I found in a plastic...

I have the 3rd edition but there is no load data for Titegroup powder. I was thinking to buy the 4th edition but before buying I wanted to ask first if there is any load data for Titegroup. I was...
I installed this program and followed the instructions but it won't show anything. Is this still working as of today? Am I doing something wrong.

I bought one just like that a while back. Brand spanking new in it's original box. They are indeed unicorns nowadays.
I saw one brand new on ebay sold for over 800$ plus tax plus shipping. Is...

As title says I'm looking at a mold on NOE site. To be more specific is HTC359-129-TC-CD4 5 Cavity PB.
I was wondering if a bullet that drops out of a mold at .359 could be used for both 9mm and...

Every time I get my hands on range scrap I use it exclusively for casting sinkers. For sinkers wrinkles are not important. Even for jigheads if I powder coat them they look perfect.

RCBS won't touch the first gen. It was discontinued few years ago. If the pot works then it works. And it will work for many years to come. Now how the previous owner took care of it I have no idea. ...
